Set the name to index.jsp and choose on template to use > Standard JSP using Struts 1.1 MyEcplise will use the template to create the JSP File.




You will find the file index.jsp in the folder WebRoot of the project. On the top of the file you will
find the struts tag libraries. These includes will be use to access the tags of struts. In your case we only need the logic tag library.
